Cleaning up Gold Eagles? Advice Please

I recently bought some 1/10 gold eagles and several have a little tarnishing around the outer diameter of the coin. I don't plan on getting these graded or anything but would like to try and remove the tarnish if possible. Can anyone recommend what to do? I was told about the cleaner called MS70 if that would work? Thanks.

    Any photos? Tarnish (toning) can be a good thing.

    Unless it's just plain old dirt, I'd leave them alone. They are bullion coins anyway so why fool with them? It won't increase the selling price and could do some harm.

    Like the last guy said, sometimes a little toning is good.

    A quick dip in e-Z-est shouldn't hurt a bullion coin. I doubt that MS70 will remove tarnish. If they were my coins I'd leave well enough alone.

    It is a bullion coin, end of discussion.
